Milton can count it, although he will need several weeks of recovery after suffering fracture of skull and cheekbone and jaw cleft in a broken football of the 6th division of the Rosario Football Association. The boy, who is in the 5th year of secondary school, plays in mary queen and was attacked towards the end of the game against American Union, when an argument between a teammate and a rival player led to a row in which he got the worst of it. This Tuesday, his mother Cecilia assured: “They could have killed my son“.
The game where there were serious incidents was played on the American Union field, at the Junín and Colombia premises. The local was winning and there were only a few minutes left to finish the game. A play without major significance led to the reaction of a footballer from the local team and the response of María Reina. Almost immediately, part of the local bias entered the field of play and began to attack players from the rival team. Milton received blows and kicks that caused serious injuries and led to his admission to a sanatorium.
This Tuesday, in statements to the program “The first in the morning“, from LT8, Cecilia – the boy’s mother reported the news that her son was fine and had been discharged. “Now you have to wait for his face to deflate so that he can be seen by the maxillofacial surgeon to see when he will be operated on. She has a broken cheekbone,” she commented, still with a hint of anguish in her voice.
Cecilia said she does not know how long the recovery to his son, but he said that the doctor who treated him had told him that it would be “a lot of time” and noted that, for example, the boy must eat soft things for a few weeks.
“I was able to talk to him but there are many things that are blank because of the blow that fractured his cheekbone. He actually got dizzy. I saw when they hit him in the face. I cannot understand so much cruelty, because it was not a game where they were fighting the whole game and that we had to make sure that nothing happened when it was over. ANDn a play a colleague of my son is going to work with the one from the American Union and the one from the Union throws pineapples at him and the other reacts. But the fight is cut. Suddenly the parents come in and begin to chase the children of María Reina. In the video she looks like someone in a white shirt who starts hitting the boys. My son is hit by one in a white shirt. I see it when he hits him, but my son doesn’t see it. I can’t identify it because at the time I was so nervous screaming to get the boys out“, She remembered the details of that pitched battle that lasted just minutes, but that she said seemed like “an eternity”.

“I entered the court, I grabbed my son and I took him to the locker room. There was another boy beaten and he told me that he could not move his legs. all that was crazy. No leader of the American Union did anything, they laughed in my face. When we arrived at the sanatorium I was told that Milton had a skull fracture and a broken cheekbone. and that they had to leave him in therapy. I don’t know what would have happened if the blow had been a little higher. She has bumps on her head, they’re all boys to come in and do that. It was not a match for that to happen.
“Milton has been playing football since he was 6 years old and I don’t know if he will want to continue playing. What guarantees do we have that the same thing will not happen again? If now the club pays a fine and everything remains the same. They could have killed my son with the kicks they gave him in the head and no one is responsible“, Finished Milton’s mother.
